God Bless you Max.

Posted by Bill Falcioni (friend at the Sudbury Credit Union) On Friday, July 5, 2013God should have made us all like Max. The world would be a much better place.His presence,smile and laughter brought joy to any room. Sad to think that we will never experience it again.

Sadly missed

Posted by Ron (Friend) On Friday, July 5, 2013My deepest sympathy to the family. The short time I've had meeting Max where none other than an honor. He always lightened my day, as to many others, with a little story, a little joke(the coconut tree was my favorite), his family moments and the best of all was his smile and his laugh, just loving life. Will be sadly missed. Rest in peace Max.

In fond memory!

Posted by Ms. Johnson (Wembley) (teacher of McGann children) On Friday, June 28, 2013My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad and most difficult time. I remember your dad as a wonderful person and an excellent parent. Always concerned about his children's education and personal growth, Maxie was a wonderful Dad! My e-mail address is attached and I would be really happy to hear from each and every one of you ... A hug, Ms Johnson

Deepest sympathy

Posted by Jeff Grieve (former co-worker) On Thursday, June 27, 2013Maxie was a person you looked forward to seeing at the beginning of the work day. His cheerful and charming way with everyone was known all over the Copper Refinery and beyond. He always did more than his share and never complained. Proud of his children, he maintained a frugal lifestyle to assure they received a good education. When his co-workers suggested that Jamaica should become the 11th province, Maxie suggested that Canada would be welcome as the 15th parish! Rest in peace, Maxie.

Our deepest sympathies

Posted by Jocelyne Noel (Friend of Marvin and Angie) On Tuesday, June 25, 2013We've had the pleasure of chatting and celebrating with Mr. McGann on numerous occasions. Whether it was on Tyesha's or Sydney's birthday or at Christmas time, Mr. McGann was always happy to say hello and ask how we were doing. Your father and husband, truly was a kind and gentle soul. We are very lucky to have met him. We will be thinking about you in this time of sorrow. May God bless you and keep you in his care.

We are so very sorry to hear of Maxie's passing. It was a pleasure having your family as neighbors on Keziah St. We always enjoyed our conversations with Maxie in the winter months, comparing the weather to Jamaica. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.

Rudy & Sharon
